If you are a small or medium sized business without the necessary resources at present to hire new employees then consideration should be given to participating in the FAS Work Placement Programme which was launched  in July 2009. The Work Placement Programme offers unemployed people, including unemployed graduates, the opportunity to obtain up to 9 months work experience while on a work placement with a company. While on the work placement participants retain their social welfare status and entitlements.

With last week’s report from the Irish Tourist Industry Confederation predicting tourism sector recovery could take up to five years, the launch of Travelshake.com,  a unique new social media platform, free to Irish tourism businesses, will be welcome news for both tourists and the industry.

Travelshake.com is a social media travel website that allows the public to browse videos, images, social media feeds, and the latest offers and updates from individual Irish tourism businesses, in one single location.  The innovative website provides consumers with a simple platform for planning a holiday in Ireland, and gives businesses, such as restaurants, B&Bs, hotels, visitor attractions, pubs, and self-catering properties, the opportunity to reach a worldwide audience, via a very useful social media travel site.
